A few random updates about some recent posts:

My Stash of Pilfered Hotel Toiletries

• I gave away almost all of my stash! The Unitarian Church we (sometimes) attend was assembling bags to donate to families at the local women’s shelter and put out a specific request for unused hotel toiletries. Last fall when they asked for volunteers to rake and weed the lawn before winter, I was conveniently inspecting my shoes, but this, I’ve got this covered in spades! Naturally this means I will need to start traveling a LOT more to replenish the trove…

Gap Moto Jacket

• This wool jacket from the Gap that I was dying over? Yeah. Had to return due to extreme boxiness. Not flattering.

Big Buddha Infinity Scarf. Bright colors really pop against the gray. My new winter scarf!

• Tons of compliments for this scarf, though! The matching hat is equally adorable.

• Final verdict on the dolls I brought back for Trixie from Spain: Truly horrific.
• And remember how I said the best freebie make-up deals come straight from Bobbi Brown herself? Yep. Right now, any order qualifies for free shipping, a free full-sized lip gloss and your choice of two awesome travel samples with the code. Get on this!
